EVERY dog has his day" The
hunting dog, lanK, lean, and Timber
Was the favoIite Of the primitive
man, and furnished by his keen sense
Of smell, and bis long chase, the
skins, to provide covering for the
antedeiuvIan race. When Abraham
watched his sheep the hind shepherd
dog tenderly tended the lambs, and
kept the inquisitive members from
strsying into the Wild wilderness
where they were liable to fall into the
den % the shseplshly inclined wolf.
Then, when the game grew scarce
and man's appetite demanded q mix
ed diet and be became g tiller Of the
earth. the ''yaller" dog was the
fashion, he is q natural watch dog.
He e. perhaps IS much of q domestic
by nature ~ any Of the species. be
q usually found uuderth stove watch
ing the cook prepare dinner, or when
the weather o. fine he BE- found about
the hen house aud has usually good
appetite for raw eggs, be generally
licks them beast there be red pepper on
them. He O. not very energetic ex-
cept when pursued by ain can, when
he always shows his metal. He has
become, however, almost obsolete
through bad treatment Of v licked boys.
Then { aere came the Newfoundland
noted for bis love of driving children
and fresh beef. he Is not q very
valuable investment, unless you have
et convenient distance from the
house q pond and few children. II
You have many children ard can get
along with q few less, don't get the
dog unless you have q government
appointment and possess the ability
% put on a different political coat st
any time. This dog Is tony, and has
few associates outside Of the family.
lie is very industrious, will carry
home ten pounds Of beef from the
butchers and do Il IN safety, II you
feed bin fifteen pounds before he
starts, and few more pounds when
he gets home. He never was q great
favurite with the middle Glasses how
ever, owing 10 his luzu 10 70 Eppetite.
The pugs anu pOOuies 4 shall speak OF
too { ser, aud remark here that this
fancy for dogs b. simply after all q
matter Of taste, In fact life itself Il
good deal that way. And now there
seems O. De a kind u feeling coming
into the minds OF women, either
brought about by evolution or revOln-
ton, I u SAY which, but guess ips
evolution, that pugs and pOOdles must
20. The womanis mind h evolving,
and the dog doesn't evOlute any, and
he's losing his hold on her affections
and politics seem 90 take his place.
10 Il q sad step, for the dOg-and some
men are sad-they think 10 will turn
Womanis mind nom It's natural chan
mel. shall not dwell at length on
the merits Of these last devoted ani-
mails, except 10 say that, however,
they have done much to steal away
from young men the affections OF the
young ladies, and have always been
considered a. intruders, aud regarded
with great jealousy by aspiring young
men. The pO'ilicll era will evidently
take the place Of the pug and poodle
era ia the near future; whether Il is
good change or not, we don't know.
II will certainly be had for the dog.
We feel for his probable fate but
whether it be revolution or evolution,
neither 20 backwards. So the pug
and the poodle must go, they canEOl
serve two masters. "Shall" we ever
long for the return Of the pug and
poodle era? hope not.
